We are so excited to announce that Riddick will come to DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-Ray Steelbook on 13th January 2014 courtesy of Entertainment One.

Vin Diesel’s modern day action icon triumphantly returns delivering out of this world set pieces, monstrous fun and one the best on screen kills in movie history.

Having been betrayed and left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick must fight for his survival against deadly alien predators that exist in this barren land. After activating an emergency beacon Riddick soon finds himself battling teams of mercenaries from around the galaxy who are determined to bring him home as their bounty. But Riddick plans to seek his retribution and return to his planet at all costs.

With a fantastic supporting cast including Katee Sackhoff and WWE superstar Dave Bautista, Riddick is once again a force to be reckoned with.

Just got my copy this past week. It is truly gorgeous to have in hand. I'm a little disappointed it won't play on US blu-ray players, but thanks to kbr1656, I was able to at least watch the movie. Better than Chronicles, but Pitch Black is probably still my favorite.

You're welcome. I totally didn't ask for the shoutout standing 5 feet away or anything.

Mine should arrive this week, can't wait to have it!!!

 

[GroundZero81]

On the way!!!!

I don't understand why they would have a hard time getting funding for a movie with Vin in it. The guy is a great actor. I love sci fi and I am sure a damn large percentage of the male population in America loves sci fi as well.

What's the last Vin Diesel movie you saw that did not have the words "Fast" or "Furious" in the title? That might answer your question. His last movie outside of that franchise was Babylon A.D., released six years ago. If you were not one of the 1000 or so people who paid to see that, now you're going back a few more years to Find Me Guilty (2006) or The Pacifier (2005). I'd wager for most people on this forum, the last movie they saw with Vin that wasn't F&F, was The Chronicles of Riddick. That was 10 years ago. That's why he's not super marketable

I like this steelbook a lot. It looks like it has some copper tones to it under a slightly gloss look as well as a debossed title. Very beautiful steel to say the least. Also the movie was pretty good too. All-in-all I'm glad I got this one.

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Just like Pitch Black, Dredd & Blade Runner this will get a lot more recognition and appreciation through home media.

What would be the best Chronicles of Riddick steelbook to go with this and the play.com pitch black?

weird it was about a week or so after release when i went in and there was 8 copies left but they did not have it downstairs for some reason it was upstairs with the music section

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

They are priced so cheaply they all will sell well if a half decent movie. I went down a couple of days after release and none at all in norwich stores so i missed it

 

[Jacko]

I was one of the lucky one's, as picked the last one up in my local HMV. Speaking to the sales assistant, one guy took 5 copies. Let's hope he was sending to fellow Ninja's. But my guess is that they were heading to eBay :-(

 

[nisefukinlife]

I managed to buy one and when I received it I was really impressed. The artwork is great and the quality/glossy cover is awesome.

 

[manutd123]

Anyone seen any others in-store, couldn't see any in Birmingham today, though they said they are showing 6 in stock, either been pinched or hidden....

 

[howiesteed]

I don't tends to go in as I'm not close enough and I usually ring them up but sounds like I need to go in next time

[jimmyv]
